James "Andy" Hupman

James Andrew “Andy” Hupman, 63, of Ruckman Lane, Hightown, passed away, Saturday, December 8, 2018 at his home.

He was born May 31, 1955 at Bath County Hospital, son to the late James Leonard and Mildred Hope (Huffman) Hupman of Mustoe.

He was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved being outdoors admiring everything that nature has to offer. He was an experienced truck driver, an occupation he learned from his father.

He attended the former Union Chapel United Methodist Church and most recently Highland Baptist Church.

Andy never knew a stranger and could strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. He will be remembered as a loving and attentive husband, father, brother, uncle, friend and story teller to all.

He is survived by his wife, Judy W. Hupman, whom he adored; beloved son, Michael Hupman and wife, Rain; brothers, Charles and Jessor Hupman; sister, Sueanne Kimble; as well as several nieces and nephews.
